LA sunset + Sequoia hug are the most easily readable for me, plus I like that the combination of those two locations covers a significant stretch of California that has special meaning to you and a lot of people. 🧡💚

Great photo! That's a syrphid aka hover fly. They're especially wonderful because they're pollinators as adults and as larva they're beneficial predators that eat aphids. Though they look like a bee or wasp as a defense mechanism, hover flies can't sting.
